The HQ would love to know where the foul was in this play that got Norkopping striker Alhaji Kamara tossed with a second yellow and a red card dismissal.
But it was obvious that Kamara wanted no part of any of it...

Filing: Former Vandy Coach Franklin Talked To Alleged Campus Rape Victim
((HT: WSMV-TV/ESPN-Bennett))
Brian Bennett has news that a new defense filing in the on-campus assault case involving four former Vanderbilt football players from last June details contact between then-head football coach James Franklin and the defendant in the case.
The attorney for Brandon Vandenburg, one of the four former Vanderbilt football players up on rape charges, requested the charge against his client be dismissed because the state failed to preserve evidence.
Tony Gonzalez's article in the Tennessean details it, including:
• the majority of more than 27,000 messages and 220 calls on the alleged victim's phone, of which just 47 calls or texts were provided to the defense;
• text messages between Vandenburg and the alleged victim, as well as between him and former wide receiver Chris Boyd and co-defendant Cory Batey;
• text messages and phone records from three team staff members — former head coach James Franklin, former director of performance enhancement Dwight Galt, and associate director of athletics Kevin Colon;
• texts and social media posts from players and the victim's friends;
• police interview records with a close acquaintance of the alleged victim;
• DNA test results from another man;
• an interview with the girlfriend of former starting quarterback Austyn Carta Samuels; and
• other police notes and medical records.
The new filing says that Franklin and strength coach Dwight Galt also talked to the female four days after the rape.
Bennett's key paragraph (from Gonzalez's article):
Franklin and Galt told the victim "that they cared about her because she assisted them with recruiting," according to the filing. Later, the defense said, "Coach Franklin called her in for a private meeting and told her he wanted her to get 15 pretty girls together and form a team to assist with the recruiting even though he knew it was against the rules. He added that all the other colleges did it."
Franklin and Galt are now both at Penn State and the Nittany Lions head coach didn't want to talk to anyone about the filing.
Here's some background from February where it was thought that Vandenburg was even going as far as saying things against Batey. Batey's attorney claimed the act was to keep Batey from getting a fair trial...

That Was Fast... tOSU RB Carlos Hyde Dismissed (UPDATED: Or not... For Now...)
((HT: Columbus Dispatch/11 Warriors))
Tim May over at the Dispatch is saying that Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer has dismissed Number 1 running back Carlos Hyde, who was named as a person of interest in an assault against a female in a Downtown Columbus bar this weekend.

And, now, Meyer will get to face these questions in two days at Big 12/10 Media Day...
Corner Bradley Roby, who was arrested for "charges of battery resulting in bodily injury" as well in a separate incident, is also scheduled to be at media days. It will be interesting to see if he shows up as well or if he is told to stay home...
More when we know more...
1400 UPDATE: From Eleven Warriors... here's a picture of the police report on Hyde's case...
1545 UPDATE: Shocking no one, tOSU announces that Roby will not be attending B1G Media Days...
Head Coach Urban Meyer has announced that Hyde is now only "suspended from all team activites" and not dismissed...
“I have a clear set of core values in place that members of this football program are constantly reminded of," Meyer said at an afternoon press conference.
“Swift, effective and fair discipline is the standard for our entire athletics program. I applaud Coach Meyer for his immediate actions," Ohio State AD Gene Smith said on his Twitter account.
Sources (and we know about all those "sources") tell ESPN's Brett McMurphy that if Hyde is found not guilty, he will be reinstated...
It was a busy day for Corch Meyers...

ICYMI: Four Vanderbilt Football Players Investigated for Sex Crimes (UPDATED: They're Gone)
((ht: tennessean.com))
How very SEC of the Vanderbilt Commodores.
A report leaked out late Friday afternoon that 4-Vanderbilt football players are suspended from the team pending the results of a police investigation that link them with sex crimes.
Metro Nashville Police wouldn't identify the players or specify the crimes other than to say that they were notified by Vanderbilt police on Wednesday of an incident that may have involved the players took place in a school dormitory.
The school, nor coach James Franklin added anything of detail, citing the "Ongoing Investigation" line.
Read the full story from the Tennessean.com RIGHT HERE
We await the outcome of this investigation because really, it is the 1st time something like this has happened and involved Vanderbilt in as long as we can remember.
The Commodores, long an SEC doormat, have had a revival in the past couple of seasons after the arrival of head coach James Franklin.
We would not go as far to say the school is attracting a "different" type athlete than they have in the past, but things have changed for the Nashville based school. A $31 million dollar new indoor football facility, 2 straight bowl appearances have the markings of a program on the rise.

SATURDAY UPDATE: The players were dismissed from the football team and also placed the four players on interim suspension “effective immediately, pending further investigation and/or a hearing.” None of the four will be permitted to return to campus without permission from the office of student conduct and academic integrity.
“The well-being of our students is of paramount concern to us, and we will not tolerate any actions that threaten student safety and security,” Beth Fortune, Vanderbilt vice-chancellor for public affairs, said in a statement.
